    Liz and I went to South Carolina last weekend for coursing and had a great time despite the weather. We had with us 4 dogs: Riley, Zip, Carrie's Lola and a 6 month old whippet boy who was going back to his breeder (Shannon Down Whippets) after his Atlanta area home did not work out. He was such a sweetheart and swiftly stole Liz's heart.

    Zippy had 2 - 5pt majors (both from BIFS) and 2 points going in, so she needed three pts to finish. On Saturday the only other basenji was Calvin, the #1 lure coursing basenji, Eldorado's In Jokuba Style. Zip narrowly outcoursed him for BOB, he was excellent competition for her. For BIF 6 dogs ran and Zippy was called back to run with an RR. She won! 4pt Major! Woooot! Go Zip Zip! That was her 3rd AKC BIF and she has one (or two?) in ASFA.

    Lola and Riley also had very successful runs for the first legs of their JC. And in the pouring rain no less. They were very on it and consistent.

    On day 2 Lola and Riley finished their JC's first thing and as they have both run very successfully with ASFA we stuck them right in Open. Riley had really great runs and his score came out the highest of the four basenjis. Zip got 1st place in specials stake over Calvin. We decided to forfeit Zip for BOB and we ran Riley for BIF. He ran with a greyhound and saluki. We thought he really kept up with them and we were happy to have him experience running with other breeds. He got a 3 pt major for BOB.

    And then we got to drive straight into that crazy snow storm on the way home and we survived only because Liz drove ;)

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    thanks guys :D:D

    I said to Liz after the BIF that every time Zip blows me away like that I feel obligated to go coursing farther and more often, like we owe it to her or something….

    @agilebasenji: What nice runs in what is a very high pressure situation. Happy little basenjis - both of them. Drew reminded me of my kids when he "discovered" the judge in his ring. <gg>I hope Zest! and I can go sometime. Did Drew's jumping style change when he lost his eye? Just curious about his depth perception.</gg> Thanks Kim. I am sure you and Zest will one day go. Put it on your 'to do' list. I did. :) Drew's jumping changed dramatically. He used to jump very similar to Feigh but without the overzealous enthusiasm that makes her jump too early sometimes. Once he lost the eye - he started to stutter steps and at 16 inches would crash the doubles and triples. As he gets older and age related changes occur to his remaining eye which had issues related to VF as well, hiis stuttering has gotten progressively worse so I was glad to get the PAX out of the way. Thanks too Fran and Janneke. Feigh is a once in a lifetime Agility dog for me. :)

    I know how that goes. It will take awhile for Rally to earn her VLCM. She is going pretty much going 8 points at a time. It took Rally and Nicky longer to earn their VFCh than their FCh titles because they are the only 2 vets running at most events. outlook add ins

    No I will have a friend in town that weekend. After this weekend the next event our 4 B's will course is July 4th-5th in Calhoun, I believe it's ASFA. And then the Specialty in Lexington for sure.
